As n Means Of TRANSFORMATION.

Electricity may DO regarded rs simply
an agent Of Transmission, a convenient,
trnctable, yet powerful, means Of carry
ing and distributing energy from ono
point TO others. As a means OF trans
mission it is far moro flexible in its
arrangements, and capable of a more
ready ramilication and distribution than
any OF It's competitors.
1t can be operated under very much
higher prCssurcs than either gas, water
or steam, and can be distributed with
very much smaller conductors, and, con.
scqucntly, at y mach lower cost.

SCENES OF THE WAR

A Chance to Hear the Celebrated
General John l.. wheeler OF New
jersey.
One of the most attractive lectures of the
season will be given at the Howard avenue
Congregational church next Friday evening
by General John l.. Wheeler, the subject be-
ing "From Sumter to Gettysburg" The
lecture will be illustrated by over one hun
dred splendid views and the text will be full
of interest, blending important facts with
thrilling narratives and witty stories. The
Wheeler historical lectures have during the
past five years won an established place in
the front rank of illustrated entertainments.
General Wheeler has the endorsement of g..
A. R. posts the country over and the press
is uniformly unanimous in his favor. The
Cincinnati Enquirer of a recent date says:
"Each lecture 10 enforced with about one
hundred Observation-Disclosures OF the battle,
episodes in camp life, on the march, land
marks of memorable points where great gen.
erals have given up life, or where the fate of
the nation has hung for one awful moment
in the balance as the deadly struggle for
death or victory went on between the con-
tending hosts. Such comprehensive presen-
tation of the subject tends more than any
other plan to bring home to the hearer the
direct horrors of war and the ineffsble value
of the peace that came as q blessed result up
on the heels of deaths relentless reign"

TRoTTING ON THE ICE-THE TRoTTERS TO BE
THERE.
Another day or two of cold weather is sure
| to bring lots Of fun to the owners of housewife
enjoy speeding their trotters on the ice, and
| the horsemen are looking about for the best
spot to begin the sport. Lantern Hill pond,
on the other side of the Thames, has been the
scene of some very lively trotting in past
seasons, and last year there was more gem
uine sport over there in the few days that
races occurred than in all the other contests
| of the season. It is no trouble at all to raise
| a sufficient purse of money to bring the best
1 horses that can be found at New
London, Groton, Mystic, Stonington
and other near by places, into contest,
and to raise a big crowd, too, to
witness the trials Last season the New
London trotters ran off with several purses
and there was some little wrangling to keep
them from taking away others. The drive
to Lantern Hill is just abouta sufficient dis
lance to warm up the blood of the steppers
and put them in condition to show the best
speed there is in them. An effort was made
a year ago to bring into the contest some of
the horses which Norwich men think can
strike lively pace, but the efforts were not
successful. This year some tempting purses
will probably again be offered to the winners,
so that if Norwich horsemen want to have an
opportunity of winning them they need to
be getting their steppers into trim.-Nor-

The Poor sewing Girls of the Country

It is fact that great wealth concentrated
means a corresponding amount of miserable
poverty at large. The charitable societies
tell of want, cold and hunger in miserable
garrets; of beauty driven to infamy because
the working girls life is SO hard; that the
sewing girls have to do three days work in
one for miserable living has been proved a
thousand times. In view of this it is not
surprising that death revels in the haunts of
the poor. If the we'll TODD have to do double
work to make their small margins give them
living business how terrible it must be for
| these poor people. Yet it is wonderful to
see how heroically many of them battle with
this hard side of life, supporting Themselves
| with every means their miserable wages can
acquire. There is nothing the charitable So
cieties could do better for them than to give
them the grand old Moxie, the friend and
| support of the nervous and hard worker,
which gives double powers of endurance on
five cents worth per day. The cost is so
little it is no surprise that 5000, 1000 bottles
| have been sold. j10 mwSIwk

Copied from q Portrait $50 Years Old.
When Elihu Yale founded that time hon
ored institution of learning, Yale College, he
struck blow at ignorance that has rever-
berated for more than two centuries through
out the length and breadth of the land. and
placed his name in the foremost rank OF
Americas public benefactors. But greater
scourge than ignorance is now running
rampant in our midst. Do you know what
ails you when you have dull headache no
appetite; nothing tastes good that you eat;
specks pass before your eyes; low spirits;
an irritable and peevish temper; bowels con-
stipated; an appearance of red OR white
brick dust in the urine; tired feeling and
don't know what ails you? You have fallen
a victim to that modern scourge, Malaria.
Nothing on this earth will tone you up so
quickly and arrest the progress of Malaria
as Lewis Red Jacket Bitters, the only sure
cure for Dumb Ague, Chills and Fever, and
all forms of Malaria. Don't wait till you
are on your back but begin at once the use
